Uncrowned Evil Emperor

March [-]th is an auspicious day in the Taixuan Continent's calendar. This day is undoubtedly a good day. The sky is clear, the air is full of spring, everything is growing and thriving...

For Miao Shantang Xu Zixiong, today is an even better day...

The election for the chairman of the Tiannan Chamber of Commerce has come to an end, and there are only ten days left. This is definitely something to be happy about...

In the early morning, Xu Zixiong got up very early, and went to the second floor of Miaoshantang No. [-] shop to drink the famous tea from Dongzhou Ma Yuanru and eat the Baiwei cake from Yangjun, enjoying it extravagantly.As the account books in front of him piled up, Xu Zixiong's eyes turned into crescent moons...

The stack of thick account books in front of him are all the results collected from branches in various provinces and states in recent days. When they are put together, it is the sum of all shares in the first half of the month. The outlines of the paintings all represent a lot of money.

Xu Zixiong's best friend, Chen Hongjie, the young shopkeeper of Huichuntang, was by his side, playing with the jade plate on his thumb boredly, and sometimes meeting Xu Zixiong's eyes, showing a knowing smile.

Chen Hongjie brought the tablet to his mouth and let out a sigh of relief, then wiped it vigorously: "Brother Xu, there are still ten days left, you should have your wish come true."

Xu Zixiong took a bite of the Baiwei Cake: "Well, the taste of this Baiwei Cake is really good. Brother Chen, please bring me back some more in the future."

Chen Hongjie laughed: "Of course, as long as the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce falls into the hands of Brother Xu, my Chen family gets what I deserve, and Chen will naturally not forget Brother Xu."

Xu Zixiong put down the Baiwei Cake, drank tea, and said triumphantly: "That's natural. When Brother Wei takes the position of president, according to what we said earlier, Tiannan Guodong and Dongbei belong to my Xu family. The family is located in the southeast and the six counties of Yangjun, Chujun, Lingjun...we will earn as much as we have at that time."

Chen Hongjie raised his eyebrows: "Brother Xu wants to hand over Southwest to Shangguan's family. This trick is really clever. Southwest and Western Xinjiang have been fighting for years, all industries are waiting to be eliminated, and the land is barren. Giving the Southwest's trading channels to Shangguan's family just happened to send them Go up the cliff, Gao Ming."

Xu Zixiong laughed and said, "Hmph, the Shangguan family, they have been sitting in the leading position for too long. The rich lands in the east, north, and southeast are always full of fat. They should be satisfied after occupying them for so many years. This time I Let them have a taste of the development in the west, where not only the land is barren, but there are constant border wars. We must honestly take money, medicinal materials, and supplies, and within a year or so, the Shangguan family will perish..."

At this time Xu Zixiong spoke with full confidence.Since he was reprimanded by his master Xu Liefeng last time, he has worked hard and worked hard. Under his leadership, Miaoshantang has finally monopolized all the medicine stores in the south of the city, and has set up branches in various places to sell medicinal materials. The prepared Jinchuang medicine has gained a lot of money from various aristocratic families in the country. This move finally allowed him to regain his confidence before Xu Ziyang's return, and also gained Xu Liefeng's attention again.

Seeing that Xu Zixiong was full of confidence, Chen Hongjie was also very happy, and said with joy, "It seems that Brother Xu has already won. Chen has long been displeased with the face of Shangguan Ruomeng's wife. Fortunately, Brother Xu has a good plan this time, thanks to him Without them, it would not be easy for us to defeat the Shangguan family, if the throne of the Tiannan Chamber of Commerce falls into their hands, we will have no good fruit in the future."

Xu Zixiong took a playful look at Chen Hongjie, and said with a cruel smile: "Brother Chen, you still haven't seen clearly. Don't say that we won and they will be finished. The president of the Tiannan Chamber of Commerce fell into the hands of the Shangguan family." Here, instead of making a comeback, they will lose even worse."

"Oh?" Chen Hongjie heard something in Xu Zixiong's words, and looked at Xu Zixiong in surprise: "Brother Xu, what do you say..."

Xu Zixiong made a treacherous expression, and was about to speak when the door suddenly rang...

beep... beep...

"Who is it, come in?" Xu Zixiong originally wanted to express his opinion, but he shocked Chen Hongjie, he didn't want to be disturbed, and he was slightly dissatisfied.

The door opened, and a middle-aged man in his forties approached hurriedly. He was the bookkeeper of Miaoshantang.

"Young shopkeeper, something happened."

Xu Zixiong raised his voice, as if he didn't care about anything, and said disdainfully, "What happened?"

Mr. Na bowed his head and said: "The Jishifang on the opposite side has reopened today, grandly displaying its own banner, with the help of a gong and drum team, dragon dance, and they are promoting their new medicine..."

"Jishifang? Is it that haunted place?" Chen Hongjie took the conversation.

"Exactly."

Xu Zixiong raised his eyebrows with a snort and said, "I thought it was a big deal? It's open when it's opened, and there's no one in Jishifang. What kind of threat will it pose to us if it opens? ?”

With cold sweat dripping from his head, the gentleman said: "Young shopkeeper doesn't know something. A while ago, the people in the south of the city thought that the consultation fees and medicine fees in this hall were expensive. Many people went to Jishifang for medical treatment, but just yesterday At night, Jishifang paid a lot of money to invite Taoist priests on the mountain to perform a ceremony..."

"So what? Can the broken place of Jishifang turn the sky upside down?" Before the gentleman finished speaking, Xu Zixiong reprimanded him in great displeasure: "Liu Sanju, are you pretending to be shit in your head? I don't know what's going on right now. Is it the most important thing? If you don’t do what Mr. Mo asked you to do, why do you care about Jishifang?”

Hearing Xu Zixiong's reprimand, the husband didn't dare to take a breath, and when Xu Zixiong finished speaking, he was already sweating profusely: "Young shopkeeper, let Liu finish his sentence, that Jishifang has launched a new medicine today, and it is said to be The secret recipe discovered a few days ago from the scriptures handed down by the ancestors seems to have a very good curative effect."

"Ancestral secret recipe?"

Xu Zixiong and Chen Hongjie frowned at the same time: "What secret recipe?"

"This... seems to be called Yipin Jinchuang Medicine..." Mr. replied.

"A first-grade Jinchuang medicine?" Xu Zixiong muttered a few words, and laughed loudly: "Haha, it's ridiculous, but if you add a good name in front of Jinchuang medicine, you can become a fairy medicine? I really don't know what it means."

The gentleman sighed and said: "Young shopkeeper, not only that, Jishifang not only sells elixir under the banner, but also threatens to see a doctor for free within three days, and sells medicines at half the price, which attracts many people. Just go and see."

"What? Damn it, Ji Shifang is against my Xu family." Xu Zixiong was blown away after hearing this.

Free medical consultation within three days is a great boon for ordinary people. You can buy medicinal materials that usually cure a certain disease for only half the cost of medicine. This is equivalent to grabbing the business of the Xu family in the south of the city Walked more than half.

Chen Hongjie also said: "Brother Xu, although Jishifang's move will not have much impact on our election for the chairman of the Tiannan Chamber of Commerce, if they are allowed to develop, the south of the city will be in trouble. To pluck the hair on the tiger's head, in my opinion, it is better to deal with it as soon as possible."

Xu Zixiong couldn't sit still anymore, and said: "Recently, because of the Tiannan Chamber of Commerce, grandpa asked us to restrain ourselves, so I didn't touch them. I didn't expect them to dare to ride on this young man's head to do their best. What do you think? That's right, this Jishifang can't stay, go, come with me to have a look."

……

Boom boom... boom boom...

When Feng Jueyu and Shangguan Ruomeng's carriage drove into the small street in the south of the city, the sound of Xuantian's gongs and drums came from far and near, and bursts of applause came from the source of the noise, which was around Jishifang Neighbors came out to watch the ceremony and burst into cheers when they saw the dragon dance team invited by Jishifang.

"Miss, it seems very lively."

Xing'er opened the curtain of the car with great interest and looked out. Although it wasn't a huge crowd, she could still see crowds of people moving in and out. The street in front of Jishifang was not as spacious as Central Avenue, and it was already overcrowded.

It was just after early morning, and the vendors on both sides of the street had already come out to occupy the advantageous positions on the street. With the opening ceremony of Jishifang, their business was popularized, and their yelling with all their strength attracted the pedestrians on the road. Inside crowded wait and see.

The carriage couldn't get in, so the three simply got out of the carriage and walked away.

When they arrived at the gate of Jishifang, the three of them saw an eight-person gong and drum team separated on both sides, and the man holding a wooden hammer was beating the drums with his bare arms and desperately.

Boom boom... boom boom...

With the sound of gongs and drums, accompanied by this rhythm, a six-person long dragon team in the middle of the street flipped around and walked around, bringing the long dragon dance to life, sometimes playing tricks, and the long dragon seemed to be alive. Voice.

The gate of Jishifang has been repainted with fiery red lacquer, implying that the business is booming. On both sides of the open gate, two huge red ribbons are supported by tall wooden frames, fluttering in the wind and cracking.There is a huge page covered with red silk on the eyebrow, which is obviously re-customized. It is six feet wide and four meters long, which is extraordinarily huge.

In front of the door, Li Yide, Li Tong'er, and Xiao Yuanshan each put on beaming new clothes to greet them. They exchanged pleasantries non-stop, and a few strangers walked up and down the shop, warmly entertaining them for medical consultation. of the people.

Jishifang was not owned by a family at first, so naturally there were no famous people who came to congratulate Li Yide, only the old neighbors who usually had a good relationship with Li Yide, some came with a basket of eggs, and some with a freshly cut pork chop. Congratulations, besides, because of the benevolence and benevolence of Jishifang recently, some poor people have forgotten the shadow of haunting, and this tossing seems unusually harmonious and lively.

The three of Feng Jueyu squeezed in from outside the crowd, and Shangguan Ruomeng paid special attention to the large characters written on the red silk.

The left side: Qingji Shifang has a happy opening.

Zuoshu: The ancestral secret recipe Yipin Jinchuang Medicine is on sale at a discount.

Shangguan Ruomeng didn't think anything at all, but when he saw the words "Yipin Jinchuang Medicine", his expression changed suddenly: "Brother Feng, what's going on?"

Feng Jueyu had expected that Shangguan Ruomeng would ask questions, so he didn't intend to hide it from her. After smiling slightly, he made a gesture of invitation and said, "Go in and have a look, Miss Shangguan?"

"you……"
